1 Timothy 2:1 I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity.
After the sad news yesterday, we wake up in the UK today to a new era and a new king for the first time in 70 years and as scripture urges us, we pray for him, that the Lord gives him all the wisdom, strength and ability he needs to fill his calling as King.
Our Queen was an amazing lady, so faithful to the people she served and I'm sure she will be greatly missed. I used to like to hear her speech every Christmas afternoon when she always referred to her faith in her Saviour.
We thank God for her life and her witness to her faith in Jesus and praise God she will be rejoicing in heaven now with her King of Kings face to face.
So whether we are a king or queen, or a person in the street, we look to our Saviour. What a glorious hope we all have in Jesus, who is our King of Kings and Lord of Lords who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood. (Revelation 1:5) For those of us who believe in Him we shall all bow before His throne one day and give Him all the glory. Praise His wonderful name for His great goodness and mercy to us.
Revelation 1:5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him, be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
